| I have a 5x14 that I used to haul my quads on and when I went to pick up my Rhino the front tires cleared but the rears wouldnt so we had to take off the rear spacers. I am looking a 6' 4" x 10' tilt trailer but I was wondering if it would pull ok with the axle further forward because of the tilt.

| I think it would be fine. I do think You will want to load it all the way to the front, with the axle being further forward. | |

| Like Firefighter said load all the way to the front on a trailer that short. You dont want to load it too far to the rear you could get the trailer to sway if you dont have enough tounge weight | |

| I have a 6'4" x 12' so I can move the rhino just where I want it to balance out good. That's important to me because I tow with a Tacoma, not a big ol truck. I can't have any sway at all, because when I tow, I really haul. | |

| I think I am going to pass on the tilt trailer, I don't want to take any chances when I have a couple of 1000+ mile trips planned already. | |

| I love me some Toyota. They never made one I didn't like. Mine is a 05 TRD offroad with a 4.0 and 6 speed. I wish I had got the automatic though. 1st and reverse is way to high for turning the trailer around, and it's a pretty big jump from 1st to 2nd going up a steep hill towing. | |

| I went shopping around and found a good used car trailer for $600 and jumped on it. It hauls the Rhino like there isn't anything even back there and has plenty of room; if I need to haul supplies or material to our mountain property not a problem but its a full 16' if your short on a place to store it. | |

| I've got a 6' 10" X 14" tilt. It pulls good but it is as wide as a 1ton dually. | |

| I am really back and forth on buying a full size car trailer because I know once I do I will get volunteered to use it alot, but it does make sense to buy one. The trailer manufacturer here told me 1000 for the 6x10 with gate and 1200 for a 6'4"x16'. | |

| I would get atleast 16ft tandem axle,thats what i have,and the tandem axle trailers pull better and if one tire goes flat you can keep going...4 tires better than 2.wish i had went ahead and got the 20ft trailer! but i can haul my rhino and my sons kfx 700 with about a foot between them and still get some gear and coolers on there.oh yea,i paid 1600 for mine. | |

| Weight has a factor in this as well. I have a new crew cab Chevy and with my 14ft trailer I already drop down to under 13mpg pulling it. | |

| i have a 12x6 tandem with four brakes,very stabile and has extra room for stuff when the Rhino is loaded.but its little heavy for my truck.The 12x6 in aluminum would be the way to go. | |
